Search for plants on a free database with Find Me Plants
Find Me Plants is a great website for gardeners because it provides a free database to help you find the right plants for your garden.
You can use the quick plant search which allows you to "make selections that best describe your garden and preferences..." by choosing Plant Type, Flower Colour, Soil Moisture, Soil Type and Light Levels or you can do a Full Plant Search which involves completing a questionnaire to make the search even more specific.
I really like the way the search results will produce a list with both the Latin and the Common Name and an image that you can click on to view the full plant profile.
